Özet

The local structure around doping Ta atoms in Fe2V1-xTaxAl alloys is investigated using X-ray absorption fine-structure (XAFS) and synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction (SR-XRD) measurements to elucidate the origin of the reduction in their thermal conductivity. XAFS and SR-XRD results show that with the substitution of Ta atoms at the V site, local strain exists around the doped Ta atoms. The reduction in the thermal conductivity due to Ta doping in the Fe2V1-xTaxAl alloys is attributed to the increase in the average atomic mass substituted with the heavy element Ta as well as the existence of the local strain.
